Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of views, starting with a spectacular panorama of the eastern Canary Islands, followed by the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada and the Pyrenees, and concluding with a sweeping view of Moscow's urban sprawl.
Canary Island Archipelago
Unrivaled views of Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote immediately after takeoff.
African Horizon
On clear days, the hazy coastline of Morocco and the edge of the Sahara are visible to the south.
Sierra Nevada Peaks
The snow-capped peaks of Southern Spain, including Mulhacรฉn, the highest point in the Iberian Peninsula.
The Pyrenees
A dramatic crossing of the rugged mountain range separating Spain and France.
Central European Cities
Bird's-eye views of major hubs like Warsaw or Berlin depending on the specific airway used.
Moscow Approach
The massive scale of the Russian capital, including the Seven Sisters skyscrapers and the Moscow City district.
Sit on the right side for the 'Canary Island Tour' during the first 45 minutes of the flight; have your camera ready within 10 minutes of departure. During the winter, this side offers the best lighting for the snow-capped Pyrenees. Be aware that the sun will be on this side for most of the flight, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended.
Atlantic Ocean Expanses
Deep blue views of the North Atlantic as the flight heads toward the Iberian Peninsula.
Algarve Coastline
Visible cliffs and golden beaches of Southern Portugal as you transition from ocean to land.
Bordeaux Region
The winding Garonne River and the famous vineyards of southwestern France.
Paris Distant Skyline
On clear days, the distant cluster of the La Dรฉfense district and the Eiffel Tower may be visible to the North.
Polish Farmland
The intricate patchwork quilt pattern of agricultural fields across Central Poland.
Belarusian Forests
Vast stretches of dense European woodland and winding river systems leading toward Russia.
The left side is preferable for afternoon or early evening flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides excellent views of the Portuguese and French coastlines. For the best clarity, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion, especially when photographing the distant Paris skyline.
